Soooooo, we have a fence guy coming out and while he’s there repairing the fence, why not take advantage of the situation and make some additional modifications. As it turns out, due to the latest batch of Texas storms that have come through town, my fence needs some attention … and by “attention” I mean “it’s threatening to fall over”. I made as-built drawings of my house once I moved in almost 5 years ago and they have come in handy yet once again. This is called “ Obsessive Compulsive Disorder” planning ahead, and that’s what I like to do. Having these types of drawings allows me to look at the bigger picture before I make a small design gesture because I hate the idea of spending money on a problem only to have to rip it out and re-do it a few years later. ![]() ![]() Having as-built drawings is really important to people like me because it allows us to figure out long term solutions to current problems. Architects call these drawings “As-Builts” which are exactly what they sound like – drawings that reflect the current condition of a building or space. There has to be an upside to being married to an architect – right? For those on the inside looking out (i.e.spouses) I would have to say one major upside is that most architects have created drawings of their own houses, even if they didn’t designed them.
